🐴💙 A Bittersweet Announcement from Uplift Therapeutic Riding Association

Our Uplift family has been incredibly fortunate to have Emily Meaghan Jamieson as our Therapeutic Riding Instructor. Her dedication, patience, and passion for helping riders build confidence and joy through horses has made a lasting impact on our riders, volunteers, and community.

While we are very sad to see Emily begin a new chapter, we are deeply grateful for everything she has contributed to our program. She has created so many uplifting moments in the arena, and her influence will continue to be felt for years to come. 💙🐴

The good news is that Emily will remain with us for the Spring session to help transition and mentor a new instructor, ensuring our riders and volunteers continue to receive the same supportive and positive experience.

As we prepare for this transition, we are excited to begin the search for someone new to help lead the next chapter of our program.

We are currently looking for a Therapeutic Riding Instructor who shares our passion for creating a fun, inclusive, and empowering experience for our riders.
